This Lecture chronicles not only the life of arguably Austria's most feted artist working within a Viennese society renowned for a heady mix of decadence, opulence and paranoia, but also the emergence of the ensuing Secessionist Movement.

To help celebrate our last Lecture of 2017 we are offering a complimentary glass of wine and mince pie.
